These kids I know had a scavenger hunt today. Boys against girls. They had this crazy list of items to acquire. Funny thing is... I was on the list. I was to be acquired. Their instructed quest was to locate me somewhere in the city during my daily excursions and have their picture taken with me. Doing this got them 5000 points. Both teams successfully accomplished this. I wonder what all on their list they didn't get. They weren’t able to spend money so they had to rely on other resources. I wonder what obstacles they had and how they maneuvered around them.
This makes me think.
How awesome would it be to have an itemized list right in front of you of things that are possibly impossible, but yet being determined to check each item off.
I wish I had a life list that motivated me. Encouraged me. Challenged me. What would my strategy be? Would I accomplish the items on the list that give me the highest points? Or do I do all the smaller, easier ones in hopes that it totals up well. I wonder.
Knowing me, I'd do as many of the smaller tasks first. Give me a little confidence boost before I tackle the larger, scarier ones. It's those scary items that make me stop. They are the ones that make me doubt myself and my direction.
Good thing each team had fellow members to help them out. Good thing they had each other to rely on for some attaboys or attagirls.
Maybe I should get me a team to wonder through life with.

Sometimes I think that I turn away from the biggest challenges in life. Is it b/c I'm scared? Partly probably. B/c I don't like failing? I hate to admit it, but that has to be part of it too. Sometimes challenges which I find daunting might be very easy to someone while things that come easy to me might be considered daunting to that same person. I too could use this team. I think we'd make a pretty good team. All we need now is colorful spandex.
